Emoji to Gain Expanded Racial Diversity With Skin Tone Modifier Option in 2015
Posted on 11/4/14 at 7:39 pm

quote:
The Unicode Consortium has released a technical report (via Emojipedia) detailing a new method for handling the representation of multi-ethnic groups in emoji. Previous guidelines have stated that emoji people be "as neutral as possible regarding race, ethnicity, and gender". Unless the emoji calls out specific gender or racial cues, then a "generic (inhuman) appearance, such as a yellow/orange color or a silhouette" should be used in its place.
A forthcoming update, Unicode 8.0, plans to change all of that. It proposes to introduce a skin-tone modifier which could be added to certain emoji, allowing users to send any emotion using any skin tone. Plans even reach as far as to allow emoji couples to feature individually different skin tones.

The Green Room used to serve Red Hot Chocolate Cake. It was delicious. I would use the one on the far right for that reason alone.

I predict that in the future someone on this site will be banned due to the use of the dark brown emoji but no one will get banned for the light pink one.
